Paula,
I wore Birkenstocks for years because they were the best thing for me for the
least amount of pain. However the orthotics are deeper in the heel cup and
that keeps your fascia from spreading sideways and allowing your weight to
press down on the spur. They are ten times better than Birks. About $200

Trem,
The Birkenstock inserts are what did me the most good, if I go without them
too long, the tendons flare up, so looks like I'll be using the inserts for the
forseeable future...so I'd have to guess the tendon problems called "heel
spurs" are really mechanical in nature as a mechanical solution fixes them.

Hi Paula,
I too suffered with heel spurs for a long time and the docs couldn't find
the problem. Don't know why they couldn't figure it out. It bothered me for
several years before I found a foot doc that made me a pair of orthotics.
Fixed me instantaneously.

Trem
